A WEATHER MARKET,
Corn the Speculative Deal on the Chicago
Market.

CHICAGO, August 13.-[Special Corn is
the speculative deal on Change lust now
and trade in it is wild and excited. 1t is
weather market. The bulls claim that re-
cent rains have come too late to save the
crop In many sections and the big traders
here and IN Wall street ara buyers. The
Government crop bulletin for August
figures the production at about 762 Co.,
0C0 bushels, but leading operators who
have information Just two weeks later tnf q
that of slatctisian Dodge are prepared TO
do business on the theory that the crops
will not exceed ], 100000 bushels Packers
and cattle men are among TIE
strongest and stauncbsst friends of the
cereal. The country, on the other hand,
is doing the selling. Adyices to brokers
from the great corn belt DO not claim that
rain can save many fields now, bat say
that 1t will redeem pastures md go far to-
wards supplying a substitute for the corn.
"Old Hutch" is great bull, and number
OF times recently has scattered his trading
cards in the pit and told the boys to put
down what they were willing to sell him.
His holdings now run up into the millions.
At the same time il should be noted that
lcf al stocks are down to about the 5 ,100,-
COZ bushel mark, aud receipts ere not half
what they were last year at this
time. Trade in wheat shows
soms animation, and il begins TO LOOK as
though the market was getting out OF Its
hopeless state. Wheat is going out of
Chicago a good deal faster than il is
coming In, and local stocks, which are now
below 5000, 900 bushels will soon he down
to last years low water mark, Seaboard
clearences, too, are a surprise TO the croak-
ers who have been predicting a total
paralysis until stocks OF California wheat
now in foreign bins are absorbed. New
wheat is coming forward slowly, aud the
visible supply increase this week will be
very small, with a remote possibility OF a
change to the other eide of the ledger The
Northwest is complaining OF poor
harvest weather, and the talk now
is OF light acreage OF winter wheat
for fall planting owing to the extreme dry
ness OF the soil and the light price encour-
agement offered producers Farmers sre
clearly reluctant to market the grain they
Low have at present prices. During the
months Of July and August last year the
visible supply increased at the rate OF
nearly 1000. 900 bushels per week. This
year it has increased only about 1000 900
bushels from the lowest point reached Tie
bears do not pretend to be playing for any
thing beyond carrying charges, and they

Better service than the drummer had

"A NEW ONE" ON BEN BUTLER
The Shortest and Best Speech He Ever De-
nVered In ongress.
IOrnaha World

II YVES ticking with Congressman Calk-
ms in Indianapolis on Sunday last" said
Mr.. Will Y. Rocker in the lobby OF the
Pexton, Nand he gave me what 1 thought
was new one about old Ben Butler. The
way our conversation started, Calkins
asked me about Crszy-horse Van Wyck,
and remarked that he madeavery pic
turssque picture in the Senate. 4 never
saw but one other man with such a wild
and woody gesture as Van Wyck had, and
that was an Ohio congressman, whom l
will not name. He represented one of the
interior districts of his state at the time
Ben Butler was having no end of trouble
with Sam Cox and good many other peo-
pie in the House and doing them all up
more or less in his own peculiar way. The
Ohio man had been loaded for Benjamin
fop some time and at last one day he got
bis chance.
His speech was simply torrent of vul.
gar abuse and would have attracted IN
mitigated disgust had it not been for his
peculiar gesture, which tempered the dis
gust with mirth. he had a fashion OF
raising his arms Just as high above his
head as possible and then wringing his
hands as though he were making delir-
ious attempt to wiring them of. Well, old
Ben sat through the speech, with his one
good eye half shut, not moving a muscle.
When the Ohio man had finished and
taken his seat, Ben rose-calm, dignifed
and impressive-and stood in the isle. For
a half minute he said nothing.
Then he began: MIR. Speaker
Another pause, long and ponder
ous. Everybody waited, with hushed
breath for him to continue. Raising his
arm, Ben reproduced exactly the awful
gesture of the Ohio congressman. Then
be permitted his arms to fall again and for
arOther hslf.miDute stood still and silent.
"Tbat is all, Mr.. Speaker" said the
shrewd and sarcastic son OF Massachusetts.
81 Just wanted to answer the gentleman
from Ohio" Judging from the wild
laughter and applause which followed, old
Ben's speech was at once the shortest and
the best ever delivered in the Lower
House.

GOVERNMENT DEFRAUDED.
AM ual Report OF George w. Julian, Sur
yeyor General OF New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, August I3.-George w.
Julian, Surveyor General OF New Mexico,
has made his annual report to the Com
missioner of the General Land Office. He
states that the demand for public surveys
in the territory is constantly growing. he
is OF the opinion that the department
should encourage the immigra ton now
the pubic surveys than now prevails. The
report states that during the year eighty
one mineral surveys have been approved,
as against forty one of the preceding year
which tends to show a greater activity in
developing the mineral resources Of the
territory. Mr.. Julian states that from an
EXAMINATION of private land claims made
up to the date of his last annual report he
found that 1 COO, 20S acres had been unlaw-
fully reserved for entry under the public
land laws through the recognition of in
valid titles and fraudulent surveys. He
finds that in the cases since examined the
Government has been defrauded to q still
more shocking extent. The Estanlca grant,
he says, which was approved for 413, 036
acres. is fraudulent and void, and this large
area has been appropriated to private uses
without warrant of law. He thinks
also that three quarters of million of
SocoITo grant is illegally included in the
claim. The aggregate of lands illegally
WITHHELD from settlement in the cases ex-
aminEd, and re-examined within the past
yesr, he thinks would be little short of A.
CC00.( a6r ?. he calls attention to the
INSTRUMENTATION of the laws in the
grants already confirmed by congress, and
states that be is now engaged in re-sur-
vey of the grants still unpatented, with
the view Of fixing their true boundaries,
and In this way, he is OF opinion
that large tracts will be restored to
the public domain. He Gays that
be has recommended suit for the recovery
to the government of more than 1000
acres in the Armendaries grant, which is
in excess Of the trae area. The same re-
commentator was made in the Amarella
grant. He also thinks that there should
be a Judicial examination OF the Mora
grants.
The report calls attention to the action
OF Congress in 1880, and the Interior De.
pariment in 1879 in the famous Maxwell
land grant case, which he chAracterzes as a
wanton and shameful surrender to the
rapacity OF monopolists of l,662,764 acres
of the public domain on which hun
dreds Of poor men had settled in good faith
and made valuable Improvements. 1t has
been as calamitous 70 New Mexico, says
the surveyor-geDeraI as 1t is Illuminating
to the United States. The report states
that during the last congress several men,
bers Of both houses. including the delegate
from this territory, reported bills for the
confirmation OF the S0c0rro grant, which
is one of the most shocking of the many
attempts yet made to plumber the public
domain.
The estimates OF the cost OF carving on
the Office for the next year is S63 900, of
which 200 is for clerk hire. TIE APP
propriatiou for the present fiscal year is
S., 600.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
The Outlook in the Northwest for tas Corn
CrOp Worry Untsvurab.s.
Reports as to the Volume of Bzsiness
Uniformly Good, while Collections
are DulI-Busfness Failures.

NEW YoRK, August Pr G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Trade Review has the follow
ing: Short crops in 1881 proved the turn
ing point of business for seven years,
and the drought this year, though result
ing in less injury to crops, comes at q time
been unusually inflated Heavy rains
have broken the long drought during the
past week, but only after the official bu-
resu report had shown how serious was
the injury sustained, and the relief came
too late to do good in extensive districts of
the Northwest.
The bureau reports losses which cannot
be repaired to considerable part of the
hay crop, and to oats, tobacco, potatoes
and fruits, a little injury to cotton and
wheat and decline of IL per cent. in the
condition OF corn. The work of destruc-
ton continued ten days after bureau re-
ports were made out before rain came and
the aggregate loss OF farmers must exceed
$500, 100000. A difference is inevitable in
the pHrchases of manufactured and
imported goods by the Northwest
II prices bad not been inflated by
a real estate boom. and If new indebted
ness of enormous volume had not been
created, q loss of even tenth of the entire
value of farm products would make little
difference. But the wild speculation in
lands and town lots, the expenditure of
many hundred millions IN new buildings,
and the permanent investment of large
sums in new railroads and manufacturing
works render q partial loss of crops more
important.
Interior reports are uniformly good as
to the volume of business, though at Gal
weston good many orders have been
countermanded. Collections are dull at
Kansas City and slow at Omaha, and
money is more stringent at Philadelphia
with continuing closeness at Kansas City
and Cleveland.
The business failures throughout the
country during the last seven days number
for the United States 151, and for Canada
tHenty-nine.

and gain, partly, If not wholly ruined.
All grain in the shock was threshed out,
and will be total loss. Corn is complete.
